You won’t get far as a Visual Basic developer unless you know how to write database applications.

If you’re working with .NET 2.0, the best way to master database programming is to use the latest edition of this book, Murach’s ADO.NET 2.0 Database Programming with VB 2005.

But if you’re working with .NET 1.x, then this ADO.NET book is the one you need. It takes you from beginner to database professional in a logical progression that makes each step easier to master.

As a result, you’ll quickly get your mind around the hundreds of classes, properties, methods, and events that are part of ADO.NET. And you’ll build your expertise with the various programming techniques that you can use for any given database task, so you can choose the best one for the project at hand.

  • data views
  • parameterized queries
  • data relations
  • XML

It’s all there! You’ll also learn how to create and use database classes so you can separate the database layer from the business and presentation layers of an application.

And to make sure that you master all the database skills you need, this book presents 21 complete business applications that you can learn from and use as guides for your own work. That includes an order entry application in chapter 11 that accesses 9 different database tables.
